I'm really excited for the next league as well. This league was by far the wealthiest I got(which still is nowhere near that much, about ~10 ex worth of stuff).
Still have yet to get a 6L for any character yet though.
I had a crit dw lacerate build that was meh (not terrible, not godly). I replaced lacerate with Blade Flurry and multistrike with WED/fortify and it's absolutely leagues better. Clearspeed has doubled maybe tripled. Tooltip is misleading as my tooltip shrank about 80%.
Never pay attention to the tooltip except when you're switching out wands or swords or w/e
just in 10 days i made a 45, 83 and 82 characters (had never played before)
also found 2 exalted orbs...
pretty hyped for the next league I hope lots of people on 2p2 will play
Wow. I started playing like 3 weeks ago, got a Spark/Arc witch to 40 something and kept dying repeatedly in A4, then at Jackito's suggestion I switched to a marauder ancestral warchief build and things went much more smoothly. There are a ton of learning resources out there, but even finding a good introduction on mechanics and an easy powerful build has been daunting. Any good youtube series anyone recommends for learning? I happened upon ziggyd's survival guide but it's not quite my speed or style.
How does the transition from essence league to normal work when it comes to stashes? Do I need to put everything I want taken to normal on one of my characters and the stuff in the essence league stash is lost?

To be honest, the best thing to do is go to the Path of Exile forums and look through the build guides for classes.
As a new player make sure you stay on top of your resistances.
He just severely needs to learn the mechanics of the game, imo. Warchief at least let's him experience most of the game easily, while collecting currency for another build.
He didn't know how to deal with second phase dom, the blood rain. Just needs more play time. Warchief op
im still just as new as you but i understand almost everything about how bow characters work and what every ressources is worth, except whats good on wands and ****, lol.
Vaal spark/spark is good for farming Dried Lake in merciless but after that it isn't great because you kind of need a skill that kills bosses and clears trash in maps.
Pretty torn on what to play. Chances of me reaching any "end" endgame game content is super low, so I guess it doesn't hugely matter anyway.
I'll probably just end up wasting my time starting half a dozen chars, bailing on them at level 60...
Level 60 isn't even maps. Most builds don't even come together until the mid to late 60's. You really should at least hit 70, you'll probably have a ton more fun.
I think it's more that the stuff people like about the leagues don't really excite me. I do kind of enjoy starting again with nothing, but I find it wears thin after a while.
I still love the game, but enjoy focussing more on theorycrafting and pissing around with silly builds in standard where I've got a bunch of stuff to play around with.
